To solve this problem, we can set up a proportion to find how many tickets Sue can buy with $96:
$8 / 15 tickets = $96 / x tickets
where x is the number of tickets Sue can buy with $96.
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and simplify:
$8 * x = $96 * 15 / 1
$8 * x = $1,440
x = $1,440 / $8
x = 180 tickets
Therefore, Sue can buy 180 tickets with $96 at this rate. The correct answer is D: 180.
$8 / 15 tickets = $96 / x tickets
where x is the number of tickets Sue can buy with $96.
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and simplify:
$8 * x = $96 * 15 / 1
$8 * x = $1,440
x = $1,440 / $8
x = 180 tickets
Therefore, Sue can buy 180 tickets with $96 at this rate. The correct answer is D: 180.
